'Why do you keep making me feel so sad today?'
The Duke of Argenthoz's voice, mixed with regret, was heard from above.
"I'd like to ignore the law and tell you not to go to the birthday party. I'm sorry, Yvonne."
“I’m sorry, Father. Please don’t do this.”
I raised my head and waved my hand at him in a panic.
“It’s okay. I really am. I’m so grateful that my father has taken care of all the reckless behavior and accidents I’ve caused.”
“I see. Then thank you.”
As I looked at the kindly smiling face of Duke Argenthoz, I was once again overcome with a strange sense of foreboding.
I wasn't just saying that to make him look good.
These were words spoken with sincerity and from the depths of my heart.
I was confused. I felt like I was Yvonne.
My father is always busy.
It's become increasingly awkward to even talk to him. The only proof he loves me is...
When I have an accident or make a mistake, I only see my father stepping in and solving the problem.
I didn't care if I got angry. That's why my father looked after me without me even asking.
‘What kind of memory is this?’
It's too vivid to say that Yvonne's memories are fused with mine.
What on earth happened?
While I was wandering around in a strange mood, Duke Argenthoz continued talking.
"And don't worry too much. Duke Iels and I have already secured the support of several important nobles. The atmosphere won't be too bad."
“Oh, really?”
I came to my senses and looked at him again.
"Yes. That was Duke Iels's idea. He's smart. He's a really good guy."
Duke Argenthoz, who nodded and praised Rudnine, looked very proud.
"Hahaha! It's like I'm seeing my younger days. If I were just a little younger, I would have come up with that method right away. Maybe it's because I'm getting older. I can't think of new ideas, tsk."
He was laughing heartily, but he was lamenting the passage of time, so I shrugged and responded.
"You still look young. Magicians, after all, become more powerful as they age. My father is amazing."
“Really, Yvonne?”
“Of course. Father will always be cool.”
I couldn't help but smile as I watched Duke Argenthoz rejoice like a child at my compliments.
I glanced at my watch and greeted him.
"It's getting very late. You must be tired, Father. Get some rest. I also have a lot of work to prepare."
“Yes. I’ll go straight back to the Magic Tower and then go to the Empress’s palace myself tomorrow.”
“Yes, I understand, Father.”
Duke Argenthoz, like Rudnine, wasn't obligated to attend the banquet, but he insisted on coming despite his busy schedule.
Barden said he would personally escort me from the mansion and take me to the palace.
These days, the men in my family take care of me too much.
I'm telling you, I'm getting attached.
'That's why I keep getting selfish.'
A selfish desire to become truly close.
Returning to my room, overcome with mixed emotions, I met eyes with Liana, who had just finished contacting Randy and was putting down her magic communication device.
As Liana got up from her seat, I approached her and asked her.
“What’s wrong?”
“Princess, more than half of our current stock of ‘Crybaby Pembe’ is sold out.”
“Oh, really?”
I smiled broadly.
“Yes. How many orders are left?”
Liana quickly checked the order documents, compared them with the inventory documents, and answered.
“It’s about the same as the remaining inventory. It’s amazing.”
“That’s right. Fortunately, I don’t think anyone will suffer from skin disease.”
My eyes widened as I looked at the current income and future income that Liana had organized in documents.
And I muttered in a serious voice.
“I’m dizzy. Right now..."
"Thanks to your business acumen, Princess. Congratulations."
‘No, it’s thanks to the benefits of being possessed.’

And I muttered in a serious voice.
“I’m dizzy. Right now..."
"Thanks to your business acumen, Princess. Congratulations."
‘No, it’s thanks to the benefits of being possessed.’
Liana smiled calmly and reported that the tax issue was resolved in the most tax-saving way possible.
I'm so lucky to have such a wonderful secretary who takes care of even the most complicated and headache-inducing parts.
Carol approached me as I was shaking with excitement.
"Princess, I hear the Information Guild has received a request to investigate the name and creator of 'Crybaby Pembe.'"
“Oh, really? You requested two at the same time, right?”
"Yes."
My eyes sparkled.
Apparently, it has the effect of treating skin diseases caused by the fountain of the sun, and it seems to have responded to the name 'Pembe'...
The fountain of the Sun was clearly created by the 'warlock' who attacked me.
But Lady Alentia couldn't possibly be Pembe's master, since Pembe didn't recognize her.
Who the hell is it?
"First, could you please buy some time? I need to set a trap and meet you properly after the Crown Prince's birthday banquet."
“Yes, of course, Princess.”
Carol answered confidently as if it was nothing and left the room.
I looked proudly at my wonderful limbs and then spread out my palms.
You must have some money too.
This can't go on like this. We're about to face the dark forces, including the warlock. I need to cure my magical amnesia quickly.
I hurried to my magic lab.
And then I contacted Baron Gardner through my personal magical communication device.
“It’s been a while, Baron. It’s nice to see you.”
"Yes, yes, Princess."
Baron Gardner's voice was tired, perhaps because he had been contacted late in the evening.
But I didn't care and asked the question.
"I told you last time to keep checking the price of Thiels. And since there weren't many Thiels left, I told you to collect as much as you could, remember?"
"Ah... Yeah, yeah."
I could hear the rustling of papers being turned over the other side of the communication port.
There was a moment of silence, then Baron Gardner let out a short groan.
"Oh, that's it. The market price is the same... I don't think it means anything."
“Meaningless? What do you mean?”
"It's currently frozen. The mine that produces the most Thiels Magic Stones is currently closed, so trading has been halted."
“What, what did you say?!”
Oh my god, what the hell is this!
I was so angry that I jumped up from my seat and screamed.
"No, the mine is closed? Why are they closing it down there? I'm going to buy Thiels! I have a lot of money! I finally have the money! Aaaah!"
"Calm down, Princess!"
My mind was in shambles, like a mine had collapsed, and I was running wild like a madwoman for a while.
Baron Gardner calmed me down over the communication port, telling me the mine hadn't collapsed. That finally brought me back to my senses.
He explained the situation to me step by step, finally calming down.
"I looked into it myself, and... the mine owner suddenly went berserk and personally blocked the mine entrance. What happened? The manager asked cautiously, and he said something unpleasant had happened before he came..."
"...crazy."
As I listened to Baron Gardner, I was so dumbfounded that I dropped the receiver.
No, even if you feel bad about something, why block the entrance to the mine?
Are you a bit of a crazy or incompetent mine owner?
I shook my head, thinking there are crazy people everywhere, and calmly picked up the phone and asked.
“Yes... Please, find out where that Thiels mine is.”
"Yes? Would you like to go and see for yourself, Princess?"
“Yes. It’s very important to me.”
"Ah... I see. Well, then I'll look into it. Usually, Thiels don't search that far..
I'll search as quickly as possible."
“Yes. Please hurry.”
After pestering Baron Gardner, I hung up the phone and sighed.
I'm saying there are a lot of crazy people here and there.
How expensive is Thiels? A mine owner is blocking the mine entrance! Did he go crazy because he had so much money?
I was fuming with anger, and then I looked at the corner of my desk in the lab and burst out laughing in shock.
“Pembe.”
"Yeah, Yvonne."
“Is it delicious?”
"Yes."
Meanwhile, Pembe, who was diligently eating a pudding as big as his body, looked pitiful.
But Pembe was sincere to Pudding.
"Wow, there's something so soft, chewy, and sweet. My previous owner never gave me anything like this."
"Yes?"
I approached Pembe to try to talk to him to change my mood.
“Then, besides food, what does the previous owner give you?”
"Hmm. She'll give me black magic and darkness? But I'm so strong, I don't need that."
“I see. But you’re that strong? You held me captive?”
I opened my eyes wide and laughed out loud.
Pembe looked as if his pride was hurt and grumbled sullenly.
"I told you, Yvonne is so strong. Tsk. Anyway, if I could eat something like this, I wouldn't leave Yvonne's side. If you need my strength, just let me know. I, Pembe, will be more than happy to help you."
The hamster with the acne was so insignificant yet cute.
At that moment, I suddenly remembered what I had to do for Pembe.
Yes, Pembe is my magical advisor as a familiar. Black magic is also magic.
I quickly opened my green locker and placed my self-destructed, shattered magic bomb earring artifact in front of Pembe.
"What the heck is this trash?"
Pembe, who was munching on pudding with his mouth full, looked at me.
"Trash! This is a magical bomb artifact I created a long time ago. It was originally designed to explode on impact when thrown, but it self-destructed for no reason. You figure out what caused it."
"Yeah. Yes. Easy. But why doesn't Yvonne do it?"
Pembe asked innocently with big eyes.
Hey... If I could have done it, I would have done it a long time ago.
I glared, lifted my chin, and answered arrogantly.
“This body is busy. And you are very free.”
"Hmm. I see? Yes. Then bring me some more of this pudding. The plum flavor is amazing."
“Ha. Yes...”
I accepted the plate Pembe shamelessly offered me and stumbled out of the magic lab.
Well, it's nice to be able to use your magical assistant to his advantage, like feeding him pudding.
I had to keep hearing this while getting a bunch of puddings from the kitchen through Eudela.
"The world is unfair! How can you maintain such an incredible body while eating such exorbitant desserts! Oh my god~~! Why is our Princess so perfect?!"
Hey... It’s not like that...?
As Pembe grew, Eudela's absurd misunderstandings began to increase day by day.
No matter how much I explained that Pembe ate it all, everyone just laughed and asked how a tiny hamster could eat all that dessert.
Tired of making excuses, I lay in bed and put a face mask on myself for Adrian's damn birthday party tomorrow.
"Princess, just go to sleep. We'll take care of it for you."
Even without using these things, my skin is already plump and pretty!
“Please paste it carefully.”
"Yes, yes."
Of course, I'm not putting on a pack to look pretty to Adrian.
Tomorrow... Rudnine said he’d be there too.
I want to look even a little prettier to him. The thought of seeing him makes my heart feel like it's on fire.
“Yes. Please hurry.”
After pestering Baron Gardner, I hung up the phone and sighed.
